Right now you can only have one document open at a time, and that greatly inhibits productivity. The goal is to create tabs that allows a user to switch between multiple opened documents.

Right now all the command work on Gnome terminals for linux, but I didn't exactly know how to write the bash commands for Windows, so some of the windows commands don't work. The functions are located inside quiet_menubar.py and the bash commands just need to be adjusted so they do what they're supposed to.

You can only use Python syntax inside the editor as of writing this issue, but that will change eventually, and it would be a good start to at least have the menu ready.

This command works fine on linux, but it doesn't work on windows.

The editor has 6 color schemes/themes at the time of writing this: Monokai, Monokai Pro, Solarized, Gruvbox, Dark Heart, and Githubly. It would be cool to see some other popular themes for the editor as well. The themes are made with .yaml files inside the theme directory. You can enable the themes yourself by creating functions for loading the themes inside quiet_menubar.py, but that is not required, and I can handle that afterwards if needed.

This would be a great start for quality of life improvements in the editor.

Right now there is an autoindentation function, but it only works for one line after a colon ":". It would be nice to have everything under the block be indented as well.

This isn't too important, but it would be great to have comments explaining the code for new contributors. I will try to work on this in my spare time.

The file dialog text to display files listed in directories is white, and in effect, invisible to the user.It would be helpful to know the name of the file you are clicking on in the menu.

It would also be great to have a key binding associated as well.

When text auto-wraps to the following line, it's helpful to have the wrapped text also be indented more than the text above it.

I would like to implement that in the editor.

Here's an example:

normal soft-wrapping:

( this is the margin )
| -------------------------------------------------|
(1) In the beginning God created the heavens and
the earth. (2) Now the earth was formless and empty
darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the
Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

same-level indent on soft-wrapped text

( this is the margin )
| -------------------------------------------------|
	(1) In the beginning God created the heavens and
	the earth. (2) Now the earth was formless and
	empty darkness was over the surface of the deep,
	and the Spirit of God was hovering over the
	waters.

extra indent on soft-wrapped text

( this is the margin )
| -------------------------------------------------|
	(1) In the beginning God created the heavens and
		the earth. (2) Now the earth was formless
		and empty darkness was over the surface of
		the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering
		over the waters.

The editor has 5 themes at the time of writing this: Monokai, Monokai Pro, Solarized, Gruvbox, and Dark Heart. It would be cool to see some other popular themes for the editor as well. The themes are made with .yaml files inside the theme directory. You can enable the themes yourself by creating functions for loading the themes inside quiet_menubar.py, but that is not required, and I can handle that afterwards if needed.

This is one of my favorite features in both Atom and Sublime text. It would be awesome to have a simple and easy way to change the font size.

This feature is for note taking and should only work in .txt files.

This should be pretty. Add a section to the readme that displays all of the keybindings for the text editor.

E.G. ctrl + c | Copy

Restyle the find and replace feature located in quiet_find.py to be more visually appealing and in tune with the rest of the editor's theme.

Allow the user to select a chunk of text in the editor and hit tab to indent the entire block. Bonus points if you also implement a shift+tab command for unindenting the block of text.

The pop up should either instantly save the file if it already exists, or allow the user to do the "save as" function if it has never been saved before.

Most of the code inside quiet_app_launch.py needs to be moved into quiet_textarea.py. The structure of the code is a mess and I can't add tabbed windows until CustomText contains all of text widget related functions and attributes.

I am currently working on this issue.

We just implemented font resizing with ctrl and mouse wheel but it still scrolls the screen while you resize the text. This is bad for long documents when you want to increase the text size but not scroll to the bottom at the same time.

Right now there are some booleans to disable/enable autoclosing inside of the config/settings.yaml file. The settings are not doing what they are supposed to right now and it would be good to be able to turn off these features if someone wants to.

I recently added syntax support for C and JavaScript and it would be useful to be able to know what language you have selected from the menu cascade.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I can't specify the name of the file that should be opened when starting the application from the command line.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a command line argument that you can use to specify the name of the file to open.

Describe alternatives you've considered
-

Additional context
I think the best option is to use the last argument as the file path.
python3 quiet_app_launch.py /path/to/somefile.txt command will be used to start application with opening somefile.txt.
The path can be relative (from the current directory) or absolute.

Allow the editor to automatically indent after the beginning of a block.

Quiet-Text is a Python text editor made with tkinter. Right now there is a "Quiet Mode" tab in the text editor's menu, but it doesn't currently do anything. The idea is that when you push the "Quiet Mode" button, it hides the menu bar and the status bar from the user's view. The only thing that should be visible is the text area of the application. I want this to function similar to Visual Studio Code's "Zen Mode" (as stated in the title).

Right now users can indent multiple lines using Tab but we also want them to be able to unindent multiple lines as well with Shift+Tab.

I don't know why this is happening, but the settings get reset to their default values when a user changes the font size with scroll wheel.

Describe the bug
If you have Quiet-Text in installed in a Windows machine, running a py file (Ctrl+b), issues the gnome-terminal command causing it to not execute.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open your python file.
2. Press Ctrl+b.
3. See the cmd terminal for error.

Expected behavior
The code should instead run a child cmd terminal and execute the python command there.

Screenshots

Operating system :

• Windows 10

Additional context
A simple fix would be to check the operating system and run separate commands.

Right now you can compile and run C files, but it only works with the gnome terminal on Linux. it would be great to have this work on Windows as well.

For some reason string do not get highlighted when used alongside parenthesis and bracket autocomplete.

A nice quality of life feature to have in any text editor.

Right now you can highlight text in the editor, but all the text has to be highlighting in the same color. This sucks and it would be great to be able to highlight different text in different colors. Below is an example of three different highlights that were supposed to have different colors, but did not.

This is one of the more advanced and important issues to tackle.

the start.bat and star.sh scripts try to open quiet_app_launch.py which is a file that doesn't exist

start.bat
python3 quiet_app_launch.py

start.sh
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/env`` python3 quiet_app_launch.py

In quiet_menubar.py I found a lot of duplicated code, e.g. separate methods for load each theme.
It can be refactored in an easy way.

Syntax highlighting has been added but it is super laggy when you make edits on larger files. This is most likely because the highlighter tries to re highlight the entire file on every keystroke, instead of just highlighting the characters in your current line. I would try to fix this issue right now, but I am really tired, and I need to go to sleep. I won't be able to assign anyone to the problem during that time, but you can still contribute!

Right now you can edit the colors of the application in the settings.json file, but it would be nice if you could also select and look for hex colors inside the text editor. Implement a color wheel of sorts that allows users to copy and paste hex values without having to use google.

The Search and Replace and File Tree windows are appearing outside of the editor/textarea and are not as quickly accessible as they should be because of that.

Right now you can run your javascript files through node, but it only works with the Gnome terminal on Linux. It would be awesome to have this work with the windows command prompt as well.

See #2 (comment)

This will explain how to provide a small Dockerfile for local development (in case Python isn't compiled with Tk support).

Right now the editor always opens up with python syntax highlighting as its default. It would be cool if the user could set another language as their default if they prefer.

For some reason, syntax highlighting doesn't work well on brand new files with few lines of code. This is a weird bug that is pretty inconsistent at times.

There is a default theme already in the theme configs, but it never changes. It would be cool if the user didn't have to reset their theme every time they reloaded the editor.

Right now we have a right click popup menu with three options: cut, copy, paste. None of these options actually do anything at the moment and that sucks. The goal is to add functionality to these popup options.

This is a follow-up of #7 (comment)
It shall help contributors and users get up-to-speed with this project.

Describe the solution you'd like
A good README should contain the following items (IMHO)

1. The name of the project (Personally, I put badges behind this line, i.e. build status or code coverage)
2. A sentence of what it does. What problem does it solve? Perhaps at a GIF showing of it
3. A single line of how to get a local installation running (virtualenv + clone + execution)
4. How to execute tests (still missing here, e.g. tox or py.test)
5. How to contribute (with a link to CONTRIBUTING.md)
6. License (with a link to LICENSE.txt)

Describe alternatives you've considered
From experience, I already learned myself how to setup most Python projects. You could make people research on their own.
But they will likely go looking elsewhere for a project instead of investing time …

Additional context
You can read up more on pages like

• feedmereadmes
• awesome-readme
• standard-readme

To add undo feature

Right now settings.json only effects the font, background color, and text color of the editor. It would be really cool for it to adjust things like line height and menu colors as well
